I see you're from Joplin. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking. Do you ever plan to leave Joplin for Springfield? I'm curious to see what Joplin has to offer that Springfield doesn't.
No biggie. I'm 18 years of age, and a senior in high school. I've been playing Smash Bros for as long as I can remember, starting with my old SSB64 cartridge (which I still play). SSBM was the first GC game I bought, and I logged hundreds of hours. Sadly, though I loved Melee, I was too young to really get involved in the competitive community. I guess you could say I mained Falco. I
love like Brawl with a passion, even moreso than Melee. I main Ike and only Ike, sometimes switching to Falco for nostalgia's sake. But I'll gladly accept any help for Melee. If it's anything Smash Bros, I want to get better.
And honestly, the Joplin/Webb City/Carthage area doesn't have much. There's been a few local tournaments, but the only people I've found there are casual and recreational players. I'm looking forward to learning from people who know their stuff.
